Danny Sullivan signed for Harchester United in early December 2000 to strengthen up cover in the Dragons midfield. He made his debut on Boxing Day 2000 against Charlton.
But in that game, Sullivan went on to suffer a broken jaw at the hands of Eugene Rose which would leave him out for two months. From then on, Sullivan remained in the reserves until the end of the season.
In 2001/02, Sullivan cemented his place in the first team and was a part of the team that went on to reach the UEFA Cup Final. Although he was involved in the tragic coach crash, Sullivan luckily escaped unharmed and went on to play in the Final, which the Dragons lost 1-0.
For the next couple of seasons, Sullivan remained a first team regular and enjoyed an eventful time with the club.
In May 2005, just hours after winning promotion to the Premiership, Sullivan was one of only three lucky survivors of the tragic coach explosion at the Millennium Stadium.
Sullivan went on to captain the side to FA Cup glory in May 2006. He was sent on loan to Southend in January 2007 where he suffered a knee injury that sadly ended his eventful career.
